Attach sound to projectile

Configure your sound in description.exp

Code: [Select]

class CfgSounds
{
sounds[] = {D30_sound};

class D30_sound
{
name = "D30_sound";
sound[] = {"D30_sound.ogg", db-0, 1.0};
titles[] = {0};
};
};

Then, when you get the round object:

Code: [Select]

_object say "D30_sound";

D30_sound.ogg should be "mono" and stored into the "Sound" folder of your mission.

Code: [Select]

this AddEventHandler ["Fired",{[_This Select 0, NearestObject [_This Select 0,_This Select 4]] ExecVM "arisound.sqs"}]
The arisound.sqs looks like this:

Code: [Select]

_Gun= _This Select 0;
_Round= _This Select 1;

//Length of the sound sample in seconds
_SoundDuration=2;

WaitUntil
       {
_Round Say "arifly";

       Sleep _SoundDuration;

       !(Alive _Round)
       };

The game runs into trouble when an object is saying something on the move. I had a helicopter flying around me and I tried to simulate loud speakers on it. I used the "Say" command and ingame it warped terribly. Speeding up and slowing down as the chopper flew about.

Unfortunatley I never got over the problem.

In sound mods the sounds are defined in the addond config, not in any mission, and that is totally different thing than the one you're trying to achieve here..

[Dobermann]

I know but the principle should be the same as the projectile in both cases is the sound emitter and I do not think that
those emitters are handled different by the engine.

I use the method described above for my missiles, and the "object class" of these missiles is in most cases a missile, a bomb or a shell. So far the sound works well, while the maximum speed I did test is only around 900 m/s.

You may do a test, attach a camera to the your projectile (a _shell switchCamera "EXTERNAL" should be enough) and check how that sound is heard this way, because may be your problem is with the sound propagation system of ArmA.
